• Contextualizing ESL factors with PISA results

  Longitudinal studies of students which follow them from their initial participation in the PISA study at age 15 clearly show that the strongest predictor of students’ early school leaving (ESL) is their achievement in the PISA test. This achievement is a significant predictor of ESL, even after controlling for students’ socio-economic status. These data show that strong competencies can help overcome the effects of disadvantages.

  A teacher’s teaching style (authoritative, authoritarian and permissive) affects students’ experience in school. It can provoke functional or non-functional perceptions of learning, self-efficacy and schoolwork, thus an appropriate teaching style can help prevent early school leaving.

It may also be important that teachers who collaborate more with their colleagues generally report more positive teacher-student relations.
